Volcano Lightning in Iceland
The recent eruption of a volcano in Iceland under the Eyjafjallajkull glacier has produced some incredible electrical phenomena. The volcano creates conditions not unlike a thunderstorm, where water droplets, ice, and hail interact with each other and other particles to create electrical charges and discharges.
Below are a series of images taken during its eruption, displaying the raw power of Nature.
